Aah yeah
Oh yeah
I'm up on the
eleventh floor and I'm
watchin' the
cruisers below
He's down on the street
and he's trying hard
to pull sister Flo
Oh, my heart's in
the basement
and my weekend's
at an all time low
'Cause she's hopin'
to score so I can't see her
letting him go
Walk out of her heart
Walk out of her mind
Oh not her. She's so
swishy in her satin and tat.
In her frock coat and
bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do
better than that
Oh yeah
She's an old-time
ambassador
of sweet talkin',
night walkin' games.
And she's known
in the darkest clubs
for pushin' ahead
of the dames
If she says
she can do it,
she can do it!
She don't make
false claims!
But she's Queen and such
are queens that your
laughter is sucked
in their brains.
Now she's leading
him on
and she'll lay him
right down
Yah, she's leading
him on and she'll lay him
right down.
But it could have been me
Yes, it could have been me
Why didn't I say,
why didn't I say,
no, no, no
She's so
swishy in her satin and tat.
In her frock coat and
bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do
better than that
So I lay down a while
And I gaze at
my hotel wall
Oh the cot is so cold,
it don't feel like
no bed at all
Yeah, I lay down a while
and I look at
my hotel wall
And he's down
on the street
so I throw both his bags
down the hall
And I'm phoning a cab
'cause my stomach
feels small. There's a taste
in my mouth
And it's no taste at all
It could've been me
Oh yeah,
it could've been me
Why didn't I say,
Why didn't I say,
no, no, no
She's so
swishy in her satin and tat.
In her frock coat and
bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God,
I could do
better than that
ooh you betcha
Oh Yeah
Uh Huh
Oo
